Monday Poll – Home Jewelry Shows
Last year one of my most stylish friends send me an invitation to a home jewelery show. I was surprised as I thought of jewelry home shows a bit conservative. I had attended several Fifth Avenue shows in the 90s, even hosting one. But my girlfriend raved about Stella & Dot. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to her event. So it took me another 6 months, at my friend's baby shower to experience their product. I was once again surprised. It was modern. It was fun. It was stylish. It felt like something I'd buy at a local boutique. Essentially stuff I wanted to buy. But I want to see more first, which means I'd have to attend or host a Stella & Dot party.
What do you think about home jewelry shows? Do you attend them? Would you host one? Do you have any favourite home show jewellery brands? Would you attend a Stella & Dot event? Should I host an event to check them out?

Host one for sure Tracey! If I am the stylish friend you were referring too (thank you!!), my show was a great success and I ended up walking off with $400 in free jewelry! I'm also dying to buy from the new S and D collection...so host a party and invite me!

You are most certainly my stylish friend. One who I should probably profile here soon. Thanks for the S and D feedback.

A friend of mine also sells "Silpata" necklaces and bracelets and such. It would be fun to have a mini trade show with several different lines (am sure the sales people might not like this, but it would be great to see a few different options ...).
